View submission: Do you think that sometimes discrimination based on nationality (especially discriminating Eastern Europeans) in Germany is more socially acceptable than racism?

I‘m sorry this happened to you and unfortunately some people can be total shitbags. However, I don‘t understand how you would get to the conclusion that it must be much worse for you than „POC“ - Trust me, it‘s not any easier for them

No one would there making a racist joke in the office. At least in Berlin startups that I worked at. Jokes about Poles or Russians are not considered to be "off".

That’s not what I am implying. I am simply saying that racism tends to be silent, as opposed to anti-Slavic xenophobia. I would argue it makes it worse, since it’s difficult to fight against well-hidden prejudice. But that’s not what was asked by the OP.
